    Internet biz Brain Dump

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Update: The backend of 2012 was not stellar. I managed to piss off Google and had a penguin penalty applied on some keywords, which made a dent in traffic, and knocked me down about 20% in total visitors over the last 6 months of the year. I followed a lot of the "guru" advice which was just...

    How do you Operate after a business failure?

    FTE 
    Not attorney or accountant -- as long as there are no outstanding debts or liens and the LLC is in good standing with the state (taxes and fees up to date) there should be no reason not to continue with existing entity. You just don't want to get rolling and have an old debtor show up.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    OP, I would go for a 3-4 year old, whatever coming off lease, don't buy new. It will still look new, been well taken care of being on a lease and generally fewer miles. Not unless he replaced the engine with a V8. They are well tuned, good handling, but not fast and low torque. Mine is...

    You can buy lists with physical mailing addresses on them. Google direct mail list. You can segment to locations, demographics, recent buyers, etc. A VERY good email will pull about 4% response rate. This is what created the phrase "junk mail", so your job as the marketer is to get them to...

    Houston we have a problem...

    IMPORTANT! 
    I just want to chime in here. There are people that steal at every level. Bernie Madoff was a known financial manager, but went the wrong way, ballplayers juice, Lance Armstrong doped, there are illegal drugs in prisons. As long as there are lines to cross, they will be eventually crossed...

    What software/online tool should I use to build my websites ?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    google "open source facebook clone" or "facebook clone" and see if anything that is already written and for sale is close enough to be an MVP for your idea. The hardest part of a social site is getting anybody to show up.
